Plates two runs Tuesday Taylor went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Giants.
Impact Taylor made his presence felt with a two-run double in the bottom of the first inning, but he went silent the rest of the way. The second baseman has had his fair share of ups and downs at the plate of late and is hitting just .227 on the month, however, so he can't be trusted for sustained offensive production going forward.
